Addicted to DIY. Others' videos have helped me over the years with my own projects. Hope these help with yours.
Building hanging shelves
I have a lot of games collected over the years. Instead of using a boring regular old bookcase to store them, I built a pyramid-shaped set of shelves that hang from the ceiling. Each shelf is 1/2" plywood. 1/8" steel wire runs through them and hangs from hooks screwed into the ceiling.

Installing large ceiling molding ... with a pulley?
Переглядів 1605 місяців тому
I have a coffered ceiling in the shape of a circle in my foyer. I wanted to add a ceiling medallion, a ceiling ring, and a chandelier to dress it up.

The chandelier is an LED ring light with multiple (6) tiers Links: High thrust caulk gun: amzn.to/3SoMZRt Ceiling medallion: amzn.to/3WtseFP Ceiling ring: amzn.to/3yf...
Hidden cabinet
Переглядів 4778 місяців тому
I found some unused square footage in my house. I cut open the drywall, built a shelf to hold a cabinet, built a cabinet with fixed and adjustable shelves, and then built something (picture/panel/art?) to hide the cabinet. Here's a link to the jig I used to drill the holes for the shelf pins - worked great: amzn.to/4bFwM1R
Horizontal slat fence to hide AC units

I built a graded paver patio in my back yard using different colored, large (2'x2') concrete pavers, bordered by river rock.
